Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Em C G
Fareweel to a' our Scottish fame,
Am D C Em
Fareweel our ancient glory
Em C G
Fareweel ev'n to the Scottish name,
Am D C Em
Sae famed in martial story
G Em C G
Now Sark rins over Solway sands
G D C Em
An Tweed rins to the ocean
G Em C G
To mark where England's province stands -
G D C Em
Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation!
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/robert-burns/380611.html ]
Em C G
What force or guile could not subdue
Am D C Em
Through many warlike ages
Em C G
Is wrought now by a coward few
Am D C G
For hireling traitor's wages
G Em C G
The English steel we could disdain
G D C Em
Secure in valour's station
G Em C G
But English gold has been our bane -
G D C Em
Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation!
Em C G
O would, or I had seen the day
Am D C Em
That Treason thus could sell us,
Em C G
My auld grey head had lien in clay
Am D C G
Wi Bruce and loyal Wallace!
G Em C G
But pith and power, till my last hour
G D C Em
I'll mak this declaration
G Em C G
We're bought and sold for English gold -
G D C Em
Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation!
